Not the rule, there's people who creates content without consuming from others. I still believe it's healthy to do so.
There's a point where one should stop consuming too much content and start creating.
Spent some time switching to a tiling wm (dwm) from 2bwm on my laptop. Ended up adding picom and some gaps.

So a friend of mine who hoards computer parts and books mentioned to me that he has an old Russian book on #COBOL.
Apparently it contains a line that goes something like "don't try to make your #code indecipherable to make yourself irreplaceable. Stalin knew what to do with people who make themselves irreplaceable."

When I talk about being a "software engineer," I do so intentionally, to put the patina of engineering ethics on discussing what I do. I do my absolute best to design and build ethical systems.
One of the things that bothers me in a visceral way is that most people aren't software engineers, they are, to create an artificial nuance, software developers. They build and design systems without codifying the ethics to express the core values of humankind in them.
You see this a lot with web developers and app developers, especially in the start-up space, and ESPECIALLY in the financial application space, trying to build MVPs that wow share holders by how lean they can make their monetized Skinner box.
It is my working opinion that this is a non-trivial component to how we ended up with an internet and computing ecosystems that largely serve the greater evils of capitalism.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Email is just sending plain text files from one computer to another, it's not that complicated. I should be able to figure it out with all three of my brain cells.

PSA: your brain never "fully matures"
there is always more improvement to be had
the worst thing you can possibly do to yourself is assume "ok, I'm there, I'm DONE" and stop progressing
this is how you become a dumbass boomer
